Gu Chen met Wang Zhihao.
After meeting Wang Zhihao, he got a better understanding of the situation.
Gu Chen realized this case wasn't simple.
Wang Zhihao was really in a bad spot.
The paternity test results showed that none of the three children were his biological kids.
He lost both the first and second trials.
Gu Chen looked into why Wang Zhihao lost the first two lawsuits...
It was because Wang Zhihao didn't know the law and had no evidence, leading to whatever Zhou Wenjing said being taken as truth.
In the second trial, Zhou Wenjing claimed that Wang Zhihao was abusive, smoked, drank, didn't earn money, used a PC, and even hit the three children and never took care of them.
She also said Wang Zhihao brought women home, while she, alone, cooked and did housework every day, taking care of the three children.
In the end, even if Wang Zhihao had reason, he couldn't make it clear...
Although Zhou Wenjing had cheated and the three kids weren't his, the judge still concluded that Wang Zhihao was more at fault in this marriage.
Gu Chen reviewed the details of the first and second trials.
In the first trial, Wang Zhihao's lawsuit request was for Zhou Wenjing to leave with nothing, claiming he had transferred 1.2 million to her over the years and asked her to return 400,000 worth of property, as well as compensation for emotional damage.
The first trial ended in divorce, with the property being divided equally.
The house and car were split equally.
But the 1.2 million Wang Zhihao transferred to Zhou Wenjing wasn't ordered to be returned by the court.
Wang Zhihao's salary since marriage had been handed over, at least over 1 million 200 thousand over the years.
Yet the court regarded this amount as family expenditure.
Wang Zhihao was unsatisfied and chose to appeal.
There's no need to talk about the second trial.
In the second trial, Wang Zhihao lost completely. In the first trial, he could at least split the property, but in the second, he was ordered to pay monthly child support for the three children...
Who could bear this?
Wang Zhihao sighed.
He wanted to win the lawsuit...
He thought that if he was in the right, he could win without a lawyer.
But reality wasn't like that.
Without a lawyer, he lost this lawsuit completely.
Now, even with Gu Chen, Wang Zhihao didn't hold much hope.
Gu Chen looked at Wang Zhihao and said, "Brother Wang, tell me, how did the verdict in the second trial become like this, why are you still required to pay child support for the three kids? Also, if you want to appeal, tell me your claims."
Wang Zhihao gave a bitter smile and said, "No choice, Lawyer Gu, Zhou Wenjing said I was abusive, and said that the biological father of the three children had died, that I was their adoptive father and should take responsibility. She also said the three kids called me dad every day and that an adoptive father is also a father, and that she's been a housewife for so long, she's lost the ability to work and earn money."
"She said it all happened because she married me and became a housewife for me, so I should take responsibility and pay child support for the three kids..."
Wang Zhihao shook his head.
In his life, he no longer pursued anything.
He heard Zhou Wenjing say the three kids' biological father had already died...
Though he didn't know if it was true or not.
Having lived most of his life, Wang Zhihao felt a bit bleak inside.
He wished he had his own biological child.
He was already forty, was it still possible to remarry and have children?
But now he didn't have a penny, his health was failing, and he couldn't work on the construction site anymore, where could he find the money to marry?
Even not having his biological child, Wang Zhihao accepted it.
These three kids, after all, had called him daddy.
If they could treat him well and truly see him as their father...
He wouldn't mind raising them until adulthood, even paying some child support, he'd take it on.
But the problem was...
The three kids hadn't called him daddy in years.
They even looked down on him in various ways.
Because he worked away for long periods, coupled with Zhou Wenjing speaking ill of him in front of the kids every day...
The three kids weren't close to Wang Zhihao at all.
Over the years, when the kids saw Wang Zhihao, they would shun him in various ways, never allowing him to hold them.
Every time Wang Zhihao approached, they would tell him to go away.
Wang Zhihao once tried to hug one of the daughters, only to be bitten.
Zhou Wenjing complained to the kids every day...
This led to the three kids speaking ill of Wang Zhihao every day.
The various statements of the three kids in court...
Indirectly affected the final decision of the second trial.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhihao looked at Gu Chen.
"Lawyer Gu, I've got no ambition left."
"If I have to leave empty-handed, so be it. I don't want the house or the car."
"I don't want any property, nor will I hold Zhou Wenjing accountable for using my tens of thousands to buy a house for her brother."
"Lawyer Gu, all I wish is...can I not have to pay child support for these three kids?"
"They aren't my biological children. If they were, I would raise them to adulthood, no matter what."
"But they aren't my own..."
"If at least these three kids were affectionate to me, willing to call me dad, I would accept paying them support."
"But now, these three kids won't even call me dad, even going so far as to speak ill of me in court and make false statements..."
"Seeing me is like seeing an enemy to them..."
"Why should I pay child support for them?"
"Everything else...I don't want."
"Divorce is divorce, I wouldn't mind staying unmarried for life, working as a security guard, making ends meet; it's not bad."
"If it doesn't work, maybe I'll adopt..."
"Or get a dog...ha..."
Wang Zhihao spoke more and more painfully.
Gu Chen listened and got angrier.
Is this all for the lawsuit?
This Zhou Wenjing and her three kids have been through so much.
And now Wang Zhihao doesn't even want to fight back?
No money?
No house? No car?
Gu Chen said, "How much did you transfer to Zhou Wenjing in these fifteen years?"
Wang Zhihao said, "I don't know, over a million. We work construction, the salary isn't stable. Sometimes it's a bit over ten thousand a month, other times it's twenty thousand."
Gu Chen: "?"
Gu Chen said, "How much did you transfer each month?"
Wang Zhihao said, "I'd only keep a few hundred for cigarettes, the rest I sent to her."
Gu Chen: "Then even if you sent 100,000 a year, it should be at least 1.5 million in fifteen years, why did they say 1.2 million in court?"
Wang Zhihao: "That's what Zhou Wenjing said, I was too lazy to argue."
Gu Chen: "Not a penny left?"
Wang Zhihao: "Yeah."
Wang Zhihao said, "The other day when we were arguing, Zhou Wenjing said she took 400,000 to buy a house for her brother."
